Opting for the right yoga mat might seem like choosing an ice cream flavour—is there a bad option? But then you grab a mat that leaves you slipping and sliding during a yoga session. That’s when you realise that not all yoga mats are created equal.
Whether you’re a dedicated yogi or a HIIT junkie, you can quickly go from a downward dog to chest-to-floor burpees with the right mat. An ideal yoga mat should have a super grip and make savasana much comfier. However, with so many options in the market, it can be challenging to separate the wheat from the chaff. So, we did that job for you. These are the highest-rated, most durable, and cushiest options out there. Check them out, add them to your cart, and get on the mat with these beginners’ yoga poses.
Yoga mats that provide great grip and support
Adidas by Stella McCartney Mat
This mat can be the right pick if your hands get super-hot and sweaty during a workout. The mat promises an excellent grip and comes in purple. What’s more, the mat is relatively light without being too slippery. The best part about the mat is that it doesn’t leave a rubbery smell on the palms.
